Minutes into President Obama's speech, he uttered the following words...
"...That doesn’t mean we don’t have a problem. The fact is, we didn’t need a rating agency to tell us that we need a balanced, long-term approach to deficit reduction. That was true last week. That was true last year. That was true the day I took office."
He then goes on...
"We knew from the outset that a prolonged debate over the debt ceiling -- a debate where the threat of default was used as a bargaining chip -- could do enormous damage to our economy and the world’s."
Taking Obama at his word, he knew of the deficit problem two and a half years ago when he took office, and he knew if not dealt with sooner, rather than later, damage would be done to the economy.
Why then, did he not address this issue years ago, especially when the Democrats controlled both ends of Congress his first two years?
This President may point the finger at others, but his own words, and three other fingers in his hand, point back to him... the "Do-Nothing" President.
...A great “aint done jack sh*t, just fooked it up” POTUS...
...A great “aint done jack sh*t, ‘cept fooked it up” POTUS...
LOL
I wish some reporter would ask... “If you knew about the deficit problem when you were sworn in, and the potential for damage it would wreck, why has it taken you two and a half years to address the issue?”
OR
“It has taken you two and a half years to address this issue. The Tea Party has tackled this in a few months. Mr. President, who is leading and setting the agenda?”
Geez, last year his party was in control of both houses all the way back to the day he took office
Zer0 transparency.
Zer0 responsibility.
Zer0 accountability.
Obama: We're Not Even Halfway There Yet
I remember.....
He’s such a nowhere man,
Living in his nowhere land,
Making all his nowhere plans,
for nobody!
That’s him, alright!
|
He’s a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listen
You don’t know what you’re missing
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command
He’s as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man, don’t worry
Take your time, don’t hurry
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand
Doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listen
You don’t know what you’re missing
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command
He’s a real Nowhere Man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody/
So true
That is absolutely NOT true. He is not a “Do-Nothing” Pres__ent. He’s given lots of speeches, played lots of rounds of golf, gone on lots of taxpayer funded vacations, and pointed his finger in lots of directions (other than at himself and his liberal/marxists friends). All of that was exhausting work. He’s accomplished exactly what he intended to when he ran for the office.
Yes, but I would bet that his golf score is really bad, like a 50 handicap.
Otherwise his media would be crowing about what an accomplished golfer he is.
It's perfect for people who can't sing.
Why then, did he not address this issue years ago, especially when the Democrats controlled both ends of Congress his first two years?
Good questions that we will never hear the reasons, at least from obamma. obamma had many other things on his mind, like robbing the treasury blind, passing obamacare, paybacks to unions, and such.
Thanks for the nostalgia. But I am hating this retro stuff right now.
